A Heavy Sake Jar Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 #UKchallenge100 rewards for the day. After a very windy ride in hail and sleet i managed to climb up to Blue Johns Cavern and then retreated to a warm fire at the Grindy Cafe. Grindleford Cafe the wind kept blowing the sign off the bike so i had to do a dreaded selfie. Quote
